Anderson Valley Winter Solstice - From the first sip of Winter
Solstice Seasonal Ale , your senses will be aroused with the vision
of a glowing fire, warming the hearth and home, as gently drifting
snow flakes silently blanket the trees outside. Each lingering sip
will gently warm your soul with thoughts of family and friends,
gathering around the table for the feast. Luscious, creamy, smooth,
and warming, this medium bodied ale is brewed with Caramel and
crystal malts to give it just a hint of sweetness, then paired with
our private blend of holiday spice. Winter Solstice Ale is great
alone or as an accompaniment to any meal, and it has been known to
liven and spice up nearly any social event.

Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome -
This holiday brew is an amber-colored winter warmer that relies
heavily on the rich quality of English pale malt. While its
strength, at about 6 percent ABV, fits the bill for an old ale, its
light color is a bit unusual for the style. It lacks the dark malt
character of some of the others, but makes up for it with a clean,
rich, malty backbone and the signature complexity found in all of
Samuel Smith's brews. Young's Winter Warmer is a reddish-brown
seasonal that measures just 5 percent ABV. It has some dark fruit
esters and a malty chocolate aroma. It is exceptionally smooth.

Sierra Nevada Celebration
- The long, cold nights of
winter are a little brighter with Celebration Ale. Wonderfully
robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense
aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a
festive gathering or for a quiet evening at home.

Great Divide Hibernation Ale -
Great Divide cellars Hibernation until late October, when it
reaches the peak of perfection. This lengthy aging process gives
Hibernation its revered malty richness, complex hop profile and
hearty warming character, which is perfect right out of the bottle
or cellared for longer periods of time. Hibernation is a lively
treat that really beats the winter chill. This scrumptious,
collectible, and imminently cellarable ale is only available for six
weeks each year, from November 1 to December 15.

Sweetwater Festive Ale - A full-bodied, high-octane brew
capped off with our use of cinnamon and mace. This beer will warm
you all the way to your bones. Brewed only one day a year for the
holiday season.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout - This brew is Brooklyn
Brewery's rendition of the
Imperial Stout style. What is Imperial Stout? In the 18th
century, Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, asked for stout to
be sent to her from England. Fearful of spoilage on the long voyage
to the Baltic ports, the English brewers made the beer strong, and
added more hops as a natural preservative. It arrived in perfect
condition, and became known as Russian Imperial Stout, the toast of
the Russian aristocracy. We use three mashes to brew each batch of
this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavor through a
blend of specially roasted malts.

Hair of the
Dog Doggie Claws - Doggie Claws is a Barley Wine made in the
West Coast style. Big malt and hops make this copper colored ale one
of our most popular products. Produced in September and October and
released in November, this Beer will improve for years to come.
